Jess's Favorite Verses

Galatians 5:1

“For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and
do not be subject again to the yoke of slavery.”

2 Corinthians 3:17

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the
Lord is present, there is freedom.”

Romans 2:1-4

“Therefore you are without excuse, whoever you are, when you
judge someone else. For on whatever grounds you judge another, you condemn
yourself, because you who judge practice the same things. Now we know that
God’s judgment is in accordance with truth against those who practice such
things. And do you think, whoever you are, when you judge those who practice
such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape God’s judgment? Or
do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience,
and yet do not know that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?”

Hebrews 10:14-18

“For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who
are made holy. And the Holy Spirit also
witnesses to us, for after saying, ‘This
is the covenant that I will establish with them after those days, says the
Lord. I will put my laws on their hearts and I will inscribe them on their minds,’
then he says, ‘Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no longer.’ Now where there is forgiveness of these,
there is no longer any offering for sin.”

Romans 8:1-4

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in
Christ Jesus. For the law of the life-giving Spirit in Christ Jesus has set you
free from the law of sin and death. For
God achieved what the law could not do because it was weakened through the
flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning
sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, so that the righteous requirement of the
law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but
according to the Spirit.”

1 John 4:17-19

“By this love is perfected with us, so that we may have
confidence in the day of judgment, because just as Jesus is, so also are we in
this world. There is no fear in love,
but perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The
one who fears punishment has not been perfected in love. We love because he
loved us first.”

Philippians 3:15-16

“Therefore let those of us who are perfect embrace this
point of view. If you think otherwise, God will reveal to you the error of your
ways. Nevertheless, let us live up to
the standard that we have already attained."

1 Corinthians 6:17"But the one united with the Lord is one spirit with him."

I beseech you therefore, brethren by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. Romans 12: 1-2
